As soon as a phrase begins with “audioquest cables claim…” it’s time to get earplugs!
(Edit — teasing them, not you, in case that was at all unclear).
The Modi 3 definitely needs some help… At the price is hard to call it bad… But yeah, for a few $ more you get way better sound.
They should just go to the modi 4 in the same form factor as the 3 like they have done in the past.
If they can get the modi to ENOG levels in sound quality, skip the balanced out. Price at $100 , then pair it with Heresy… it would be a really hard stack to beat even compared to stacks that cost 2 or 3 times the price…
I’m taking single ended of course.
I wonder what your thoughts on a d10 or m100 would be
I’ll reach out to topping this weekend and see if I can get one in. I’m curious too as I haven’t used any topping products other the acrylic amp stand
tbh i dont understand any of this though we can talk in a DM or something
Has anyone tried the heresy with very sensitive IEMs? I’m thinking of buying these and using my E10K as a DAC, with the e10k I can’t turn the volume past 1 without going deaf, 2 if I use the EarBuddy, and I get the idea that there’s a slight channel imbalance at lower volumes.
Bonus question, how do you think the sound itself would be affected by using the heresy as na amp if at all?
I’ve listened to them with KZ ZS10 Pro’s, they work well but the issue is that you can only about 1/3 of the volume on low gain. Sounds great but careful.
Hmm and my IEMs only have an impedance of 15Ohm compared to yours with 24.
If you lower the volume from your DAC you will be fine. Or you get put a Schiit Sys in line and just turn down the volume.
How did you get the heresy with a light indicator?
It was an earlier model revision. If you purchased it sometime before February I think they came with the front indicator lite. It’s a mid model update. I know mine from December has the indicator light.
if you want to do the less analytical and more “fun” sounding 3+, how does it compare to the liquid spark
Cool stack spacers. Never seen them before.
They are currently sold out but look for “Schelf” on Etsy.
I’m looking for a bit of advice from all the Magni 3+/Heresy owners.
I’ve recently bought a pair of DT990 250 ohm headphones and was advised to get a warmer sounding amp. Out of the two which is the warmer sounding, The magni 3+ or the Heresy?
I also own the K702, HD58X, SHP 9500 and X2HR (These will be getting sold though)
I’ll be using my G6 as a DAC for now.
Magni 3+ but it’s not a huge difference.
Thanks, I think since posting that I’m going to order the Asgard 3 instead.
